How is a user granted access rights?
Users are automatically assigned the rights of 'registered user' after logging on to the system. At present, the following additional roles are supported:
- administrator, which can change what roles mean, and grant users rights to fulfill those roles. Administrators can also fundamentally change the configuration and architecture of the overall web system
- moderators, who have the right to approve (and edit) content submitted for moderation
- partners, who have all rights of moderators, and additional rights to create new groups and associated infrastructure
